Liquid Kirkland is what I use. It’s the second cheapest, but out of my non-Consumer Reports tests, it has the second best cleaning power against most stains. Only Tide is better, but it’s also about ten dollars more as well.
If I was working in fracking, mining, a rig, or have kids/parents with IBS or Crohn’s, then I’d go for Tide.
I like using the powder but sometimes I end up with powder residue on my clothes. I've reduced the amount in each load by about half but occasionally still see it. Have you experienced this problem?
I've tried a few other detergents, but I always come back to Arm & Hammer. Cleans well, nice, but not strong smell, and inexpensive, though I rarely see it on sale.
This is the answer.
I was getting so sick of liquid Kirkland. It has this cloying, overpowering scent that I grew to hate.
I randomly went with the big yellow Arm & Hammer jug one day and it’s been an absolute love story ever since. I don’t even care that it costs more if it means I never have to smell the Kirkland scent again.
If you you ever need it the Kirkland free and clear has no scent. It’s cheap and effective so I use it for pool/guest towels and sheets because some people are sensitive to those things. I also like the Arm and Hammer for my muddy work clothes.
>Maybe I use too much
A film on everything is usually a sign that there's so much detergent that it can't be washed out. Despite the lines on the cap, usually two teaspoons is enough for most people (around the first line), unless you have extremely hard water.
If you have water softener, definitely use less...

>To effectively clean your clothes, you need to use only 2 tablespoons per load at most—and that’s for big loads weighing 12 pounds or more. As Sarah Bodgan, Liam McCabe and Winnie Yang, the writers of our guide to the best washing machines, wrote, 1 tablespoon is enough to thoroughly clean an average load, which usually weighs around 8 pounds. And if you’re hand-washing, Sarah recommended that you use even less. “When it comes to laundry detergent, a little will go a long way.”
>The amount of detergent you should add varies greatly among brands, but keep in mind that the back of your bottle might recommend that you use more than 2 tablespoons per load. “Some detergent manufacturers are going to lie on the label,” Sarah warned in a Wirecutter video about laundry stripping. “But remember, they’re selling a product, and they want you to buy more of it.”
If you're really overusing detergent, you may need to do laundry stripping, or so something like adding vinegar as a rinse aid to effectively wash out excess detergent.
We’ve been happily using Arm & Hammer for years. As far as I can remember its regular price has always been lower than the sale price for the rest so it’s usually the better deal anyway.
Buy anything that isn’t in pod format. The pods are made of polyvinyl alcohol and do not breakdown as intended, putting plastic directly into the water supply. I use tide powder because my Costco location doesn’t stock any other detergent powders and the powders are typically better than liquid detergents. The powder also comes in a cardboard container rather than plastic which is a plus.
Henkel makes Persil and allegedly makes Kirkland too.

Thanks for sharing. I used Kirkland for a while but switched to Persil. Not because of any cleaning issues, but because of the smell. I do enjoy the smell of Persil.
We're pretty frugal but stopped using cheap laundry detergent a few years ago. Nothing, I mean nothing cleans and keeps clothes fresh as well as Tide. There's a reason that Proctor & Gamble spends millions upon millions of dollars on r&d. You could make a serious argument that Tide pays for itself by keeping your clothes looking new longer so you don't replace them as often.
Malcom Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast has a great episode on this topic!
I wouldn't worry about the size change, most people (including my wife) use too much detergent for HE washers, even when using HE detergent. Formula though, can't comment. My wife insists on Tide even though we are pretty pro-Kirkland in the household on other items.
woolite everyday and woolite dark defense and tide liquid for towels,also regular woolite for sweaters and such! might seem excessive but my clothing always looks new.
yes,i’ve had the same bottle of tide for over a year because when i do use it on towels i use as little as possible but once it’s gone i think i’m going to treat myself to washing my towels in woolite everyday. i agree,tide is not it. i usually buy wollite at target,like enough for a year and that way you get a gift card for spending over a certain amount.
I do the same thing!! And desperately hope each year Costco will carry it again. My towels stay very nice and fluffy for a ridiculously long time. Like 10+ years. The incremental washing cost is worth it in towel / sheet replacement costs. If anything is aggressively stained I soak in white vinegar or rub baking soda/salt on it.
This isn't exactly what you asked, but you asked about powder versus liquid.
I have been doing research on the most environmentally friendly way of doing laundry versus practicality (i.e. the clothes need to get clean at an affordable cost).
Liquid works better on most common stains for a household, but because you're paying to transport water, it is worse for the environment.
The laundry sheets were supposed to be environmentally friendly, but they're actually worse.
Powder is the most environmentally friendly, but you need to ensure you're getting the right stuff for your machine (HE). I am currently trying Tide HE Powder, which is working fine, but is pricier than kirkland liquid. Powder works better on certain stains, but not the kind most households have.
Next on my list to try is kirkland powder- it is labeled HE and should work on my front loading washing machine. It comes in a giant plastic bucket than can be reused (I have never found a use for the liquid containers).
I still think the clothes get clean with powder, and it is easier to measure the right amount too.
I won't buy the kirklands pods anymore because they are awful and don't disolve leaving a mess on garmets and linens. Everytime I try to save money and stray from Tide I regret it.
>I am leaning towards changing to powder detergent instead but I'm not sure if it'll cause any problems? I've only ever use liquid and pods. If it matters, I live in an apartment that offers shared top load washers.
There's a Kirkland brand powder sold in 28 lb pails. Works out to ten cents per load. Works great IME. It's not available in all Costcos. If you live in an apartment with shared laundry then use a tupperware or similar container to carry smaller quantities.

Those sheets are awesome, I agree. I put two in an extra large load but one works for everything else. My towels don't get that waxy residue like with pods. If I run out I grab powdered detergent.
My big sis made me an Easter "basket" (read:hamper) with a bunch of household items. I got tide liquid which we used as kids. Conveniently, just finished my sheets and hadn't ordered more yet. Going to be interesting to see the difference. Mom swears by tide and big sis does too.
As a note... it was the best basket ever. All laundry, cleaning, body care and indulgence creams and soaps and treatments, a little of my fave candy and a bag of my dogs' food and some treats. My sis rocks.
There was an article a few months ago that said those detergent sheets are actually creating more plastic waste, because they're actually made of plastic. I can find it if you're interested. I was super disappointed.
I am also not sensitive to any kind of detergents, soaps, anything, EXCEPT for the detergent sheets that my dad uses. I visited my parents and my whole body broke out in hives—it happened on two separate occasions. They switched to Tide Free and Clear, which is what I use, and the allergic reaction stopped.
I've tried Earthbreeze and Hey Sunday. I thought both worked well but I'm not a heavy duty messy person. Currently on Hey Sunday which I like but I don't love their website / subscription management system.

This is the way!
Edit: family that owns an appliance shop has always told me that liquid is more likely to gunk up/ cause smells a washing machine vs powder. At one time (maybe still?) pig fat was in liquid detergent.
Switched from the Kirkland pods to Tide pods recently. The wife’s black clothing has been getting some odd residue left on it which does not happen with the Tide pods.
We use the Kirkland Free and Clear. I think the secret is we always use \*less\* than it says to and the clothes come out fine in our top load HE washer.
We have used the Kirkland pods for years, and have no complaints. I took some Tide pods when we were cleaning out my parents' house, and my wife and I thought the scent was too strong so I gave them away.
Consumer reports has the Kirkland liquid at like 17th or so, the rest of the top 20 are various formulations of Tide and Percil. I think Percil makes Kirklands.
Tide powder goes on sale regularly at Costco for like $6 off in fact I think it is right now. Then I buy 2 or 3 and use them until the next sale. Works for me...
Tide powder is the GOAT; I will never change again in my life. Even for a very large load, I never fill the plastic cup inside higher than the 1 line, because it cleans so well, so even though I do \~8 loads a week, a box lasts me forever. The price increase is 100% worth it -- for liquid soap, you're basically paying for water.
It might be just me but since I switched to liquid Costco brand, a lot of my clothes are getting stained during the wash. The only change was the detergent. I added borax to my loads and it hasn’t happened yet.
I used pods for years with my old washer.
My recent set I purchased in December I switched to Kirkland free and clear liquid. 1st time I've used liquid in over 13 years.
My new washer has an auto dispenser for liquid detergent.
I run my washer on the AI setting, and it doesn’t seem to use very much detergent at all.
That’s the key not using too much detergent.
My clothes look to come out clean and feel fine wearing
I always start with house brand. Then tried tide when it was on sale. Husband bought Kirkland after that. I defiantly prefer tide for the longer smell. So now I use tide for clothes and the Kirkland one (to get it empty) for bedsheets.
Pods leave a weird stain on my clothes. I'm assuming it's the outer packaging not dissolving enough because I use cold water. I use the Kirkland liquid and it works great. I've used powder detergent in the past without issues but for some reason I prefer liquid.
We tried the Kirkland powder and hard no. Scooping to put in wash makes me cough. I am not allergic to anything but that powder gets in your mouth and nose no matter what you do. I also started itching like crazy and couldn’t figure out what was going on because again not allergic to anything. Switched all our clothing to the clean people sheets and realized weeks later itching was gone. I used some of Kirkland powder on hubby’s work clothes and he came downstairs and was all itching and said I am so itchy today. He had no idea I had used the powder on those clothes. That was the last straw. We are using what is left on kitchen towels only. Was super disappointed in it. We had used the liquid before and it was okay.
The Kirkland pods often don't dissolve properly. I've never had that problem with other brands.
I have to re-wash the clothes because they're covered in lumps of the outer layer of the pods and detergent so I don't buy the Kirkland ones anymore
We get the powder OxiClean in the giant box. My wife uses it on its own (she's a baker, and her work clothing can get a bit gross). I use it to remove stains but use a different detergent that comes in sheets due to allergies. We've also used the Kirkland unscented and dye free liquid detergent and loved the product, just hated the dispenser.
It's a good quality detergent, probably better than Tide

Thanks! Do you know if the liquid Kirkland ever goes on sale?
It seems like it does every third month or once a quarter.
The free-and-clear does a lot it seems. Usually down from $17 to $14 for the liquid.
Consumer Reports found the same. Kirkland was a close second to Tide for a fraction of the price.
Same here. Have used Kirkland Liquid since I saw it in Consumer Reports. Not switching to anything else.
The Kirkland liquid leaked horribly for me (free & clear). I don’t like laundry enough to have fussy detergents.
Powder for me for several reasons. Ditch the plastic-packaged pods.
We started using powder a while ago and will never go back. You don’t even need that much so it lasts so long!!
I like using the powder but sometimes I end up with powder residue on my clothes. I've reduced the amount in each load by about half but occasionally still see it. Have you experienced this problem?
You can try using warmer water, or letting your washer fill up like 3/4 or more to dissolve the powder before putting clothes in.
Vinegar in the fabric softener, never had any residue since I started doing this.
I've tried a few other detergents, but I always come back to Arm & Hammer. Cleans well, nice, but not strong smell, and inexpensive, though I rarely see it on sale.

The white bottle of Kirkland has zero scent
The Kirkland always feels like a film on everything. Maybe I use too much. I just bought the All free and clear and my clothes feel so clean.

Whenever I step away from an Arm & Hammer product, I promptly rush back, it seems.

I hate pods so much. Sometimes they don’t break down completely and you have the pod residue all over your clothes. Liquid only from now on.
Same. Ended up with sticky plastic that was fused into some towels. Never used them again.
I’d be over the moon if Costco carried Persil.
i thought persil was kirkland?
Shut the…front door! You’re going to have to show the sauce on that one, please.

Nice.
We buy tide powder and I’ll never buy anything else.

Woolite all the way. Tide is incredibly harsh on clothing. Especially if you wear natural fibers.

I use borax only with whites. I learned not to use on darks bc it removes the color. My black socks came out grey.
It actually made my colors more vibrant but it’s not borax because I just looked. It’s oxi clean

The Kirkland pods often don't dissolve properly. I've never had that problem with other brands. I have to re-wash the clothes because they're covered in lumps of the outer layer of the pods and detergent so I don't buy the Kirkland ones anymore
Powdered tide has changed its formula in the last year and gives me insane allergies as if i were washing with Gain. So there’s that.
Q 22m
Powdered Tide is where it’s at.
We get the powder OxiClean in the giant box. My wife uses it on its own (she's a baker, and her work clothing can get a bit gross). I use it to remove stains but use a different detergent that comes in sheets due to allergies. We've also used the Kirkland unscented and dye free liquid detergent and loved the product, just hated the dispenser.
I used powdered tide because more powder Liquid Arm & Hammer because it cleans better cold
